People who dont beleive in tipping are one of two things...

1. cheap

2. Has NEVER bartended

What people dont get is that your taking a SEAT. If you sit there for 4 hours and run a bill of 100 bucks and want to only tip 10 bucks? You are taking a seat for 4 hours that someone else could be sitting. I usually agree with Colin, but he is DEAD WRONG on this....

@eman0716 doesn't really apply to a bartender who's serving hundreds of people in a night most of which only take up a few minutes of time and the only space they're taking up are the edge of the bar for which they're waiting for service.

@JR08620 He makes a lot of sense; you don't!

I'm with Mr.Pink on tipping

He's right about this bartenders do not deserve 20%.20% is fine for waiters that do a good job and seem to care about their job. To get 25% you would have to be an outstanding waiter like the best I've ever had.

@johnnycajxrt tell your employer to pay u higher wage. why is it our fault. what other job work that way. well i have to tip that construction guy because they pay him under minimum wage

@eman0716 how is he wrong? he made valid points

[johnnycajxrt]

i'm a pizza delivery driver and i get very annoyed when people don't tip. I, like most waiters/waitresses get paid BELOW minimum wage because we are expected to make up the difference in tips. I completely agree with Colin on this, bartenders pour beer and mix up a few drinks, that does not deserve 20%. Waiters deserve the 20% tip.

@eman0716 get a real job then

@eman0716 If you're at a bar for 4 hours in a seat, you have problems.

I believe that there would not be anyone thinking that someone who does not want to add 20% to their restaurant bill is cheap if they had to tip everyone that provided a service to them. Would your opinion be different if you had to pay 20% more for gas, groceries, medical care, movie tickets, fast food, parking, etc,etc,. I worked care homes for over twenty years and spent 8 hours a day on my feet waiting on elderly hand and foot and wiping their ass and giving them baths & no one tipped me.

Hell, the guy handing me a burger at McDonalds does more work than someone opening a bottle of beer. Why should I hand one guy a few bucks and the other guy nothing?

I think a tip should be for excellent service, not just something you feel obligated to do.
